And there was me looking to do some DIY plumbing...
...and one thing leads to another and I find myself a jobless crack addict Super-T drinker extraordinaire
Strangely enough
Strangely, when I did a search on 'refried beans + salsa + cheese + sour cream' the split result gave suggested 'a bong.'
I guess they are thematically changing their algorithm.
kidding
I always knew
they were stoners. irie.
It's a relevant result...
I think it's absolutely a relevant result, an I'm not just saying it cuz I'm a pothead. It's as relevant as any other result for the search 'pipes'.
Google's Results Are Out Of Joint Again :.(
Back to work...
some of the funniest moments
Some of the funniest moments in my semantic research have involved Google's parsing of stoner sites. It is hilarious how certain stereotypes are expressed in the written language of content on forums and sites. It seems weed gowers/smokers are very literate (compared to crack users I guess) and they build and post to websites quite a bit.
When you dig deep enough you actually find set membership/relevance for words and phrases like "stuff" and and "shit" within phrases like "growing shit in your closet".
For the record I was working in hydroponics. It was client work, GoogleToolbar, it was client work!
A lot about weed..
I was reading through forums about how to grow weed. These people are true agronomists..they were going on and on about soil ph and organic methods to fertilize. My father, who is a wheat farmer could have serious, intelligent conversations with them.
Not what I thought of as "stoners"..
